Meanwhile one of tho Beers, getting on the
shoulders of another, had succeeded in UNI
tying the cord on which the Union Jack was
bent and hauling it down. Then they re-

Thereon the whole mass of Beers, with the
exception of Muller, who was standing
watching, seeing that he was now defenseleSs,
fell upon him and would have kicked him to
death had not Bessie precipitated herself upon
him with a cry and thrown her arms about
him to protect him.
Then Frank Muller hterfered, fearing lest
she should be hurt. Plunging into the fray
with curse, he exercised his great strength,
throwing the men this way and that like
ninepins and finally dragging Sias to his feet
again.
"Come!" he shouted, take him out of this;''
and accordingly, with taunts and obloquy,
the poor OLD man, whose fringe of white locks
was red with hood, was kicked and dragged
and pushed on to the veranda, then off it on
to the drive, where he fell over the body of
the murdered kallir boy, and finally hauled

What is a Billion?

A billion is a million times nils
lion. Perhaps you can count 16O or
ITO in minute-nay, supposing you
could even count 200 in minute
Then, in one hou., you could count
$4,000 if you were not interrupted.
Well, $4,000 an hour would be 1885,.
900 day I; and year, Or 365 days,
would produce los, 100000. But this
would not allow you single moment
for sleep or for any other business
whatsoever. If Adam at the begin
ming of his existence, had begun to
count, had continued to count, and
were counting still, he would not even
now, according to the usually supposed
age of man, have counted nearly
enough. For to count a billion be
would require 9512 years, "a days,
S hours, and 80 minutes, according to
the above reckoning. But suppose
that We were to allow the poor counter
twelve hours daily for rest, eating and
sleeping, he would need 1924 years,
SO days, 10 hours and 40 minutes to
count billion.

WORTH AND SOUTH RAILROAD

The final survey and location of the
North and South railroad from Gibs.
land via Homer, is now being made,
In ten days fifty carts, teams and
tools, will be in Gibsland to commence
on the road bed which work will be
pushed through with the greatest dis
patch, so as to have the road compile,
ted to Homer at an early date. This
road will connect Alexandria with
Hope, Ark, and will be a central
North and South between the Ouach-
tia and Red River. All the papers,
as to contract and terms, have been
duly signed, and We feel now that
there can be no fly in the lock this
time. Major Beardsley, of Arkansas,
is the contractor. He has 100000
to back him, and it is to his interest
to have this road as soon as possible
make connection with his 80 miles oil
road now built to Hope, Ark. And
in this connection we are gratified to
refer to the indomitable energy of oul
Judge Jno. A. Richardson in behalf
of this enterprise. He has been &C
tive all the time, ceased not his labors
until this consummation was made
and is justly entitled to all praise ant
credit for his work. The road is as
sured, so we are informed Clai
